A fish and chip van or other catering?
Evening food can be anything from bacon rolls to pizza. A chip van gives a more filling, proper meal. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

Wedding fish and chip van in Holland Park, cooked to order
Evening guests may have come straight from work, and day guests ate hours ago. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. We’re often asked to cater coastal-themed receptions and relaxed, informal receptions, serving mushy peas, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
London weddings around Holland Park often mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a courtyard or a family home. The van needs somewhere off the road to park, such as a yard, car park or drive. In London, check vehicle access with the venue early. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Questions from Holland Park
Could you trade in Kensington Palace Green?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St George: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Can the van be part of the photos?
Lots of couples ask for a picture at the van. If you’d rather not, we will park out of shot where possible.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Where will the van go at our venue?
That’s up to your venue, but close to the party is best. A photo of the area helps.
When should evening food go out?
Usually between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance. We will work to your timings.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
What happens on the day
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we’ll adjust start times and pace to suit your wedding. Winter weddings in Holland Park are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- We start with a few details about your wedding.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Name one person we can call on the day

What else we do in Holland Park
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
